Conte, a classically-trained musician, is mastermind of a collective of acid jazz revivalists, "The Fez collective" (and originally a member of the group Fez Combo), based in the Italian town of Bari, and the Schema label, their record label for promoting their distinctly Italian approach to acid jazz.
Conte's first album was Jet Sounds of 2000. The single "Bossa Per Due" gained international recognition and was an underground hit. It was used almost immediately for a prime-time commercial for Acura automobiles. The album was licensed for American distribution by Thievery Corporation's Eighteenth Street Lounge (ESL) label in the summer of 2001 as Bossa Per Due, and was slightly reconfigured version of the Italian Jet Sounds album. This was followed by the Jet Sounds Revisited remix album in late 2002. Two years later, Blue Note's French subsidiary released Conte's next album Other Directions.
Conte also produced albums by other artists such as Paolo Achenza Trio.
A Time for Spring
Nicola Conte Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
about all the colours of spring
When they'll come
dancing on a carpet of dreams
And there you are
soft light breeze
Scent a breeze
And I love to think
I love to think
about all the flowers and things
Bouquet of buzz
Your eyes will blink
I clearly see
brighter days
Wild embrace.
And I love to think
about all the poems worth saying
I love to think
about all the colours of spring
When they'll come
dancing on a carpet of dreams
And there you are
soft like breeze
Scent a breeze
And I clearly see
the brightest days
when you come to me
The lyrics to Nicola Conte's "A Time for Spring" evoke a sense of delight and appreciation for the joys of springtime. The singer loves to sing about the colors of spring and envisions them "dancing on a carpet of dreams." These dreamlike images are met with a breeze that brings with it the sweet scent of spring. The singer also loves to think about the poems worth saying, possibly indicating a nod to the great poetic works inspired by nature and springtime.
As the song progresses, the singer continues to describe their love for the flowers and all the things that the season brings. The mention of a "bouquet of buzz" suggests an abundance of activity and life, while the reference to "wild embrace" could indicate the uncontrollable, yet beautiful chaos that comes with spring.
